Au-ve-co Products 17124 Nylon Panel Rivet Ratchet Shank

Product Description

The AU-VE-CO PRODUCTS 17124 is a nylon panel rivet with a ratchet shank design, used to secure panels, trim, and lightweight components in place without tools or hardware. The ratchet shank locks into position on insertion, holding the fastened material firmly once seated. Rated for a maximum hole diameter of 0.31 inches, this rivet is molded from nylon in black and weighs just 0.01 pounds per unit. HVAC technicians, automotive service technicians, and general trade installers commonly use this type of fastener when securing access panels, duct liners, and similar lightweight sheet components.

This panel rivet is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a clean, tool-free fastener is needed to retain thin panels or trim pieces. The 0.31-inch hole diameter fits standard pre-punched panel openings common in HVAC equipment housings, electrical enclosures, and similar assemblies. The black nylon construction resists corrosion and is appropriate for interior or protected exterior installations.
